Question

which statement accurately describes the relationship between cytokinesis and mitosis?
o mitosis includes interphase and cytokinesis.
o cytokinesis precedes mitosis in the cell cycle.
o cytokinesis is not a phase of mitosis, but occurs during mitosis.
o interphase includes cytokinesis and mitosis.

Explanation:

Mitosis is the division of the nucleus, while cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm. Cytokinesis occurs after the stages of mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase) are completed. Interphase is the stage before mitosis and does not include mitosis or cytokinesis. Mitosis does not include interphase or cytokinesis. Cytokinesis follows mitosis in the cell - cycle.

Answer:

Cytokinesis is not a phase of mitosis, but occurs during mitosis.
